An award-winning winery and vineyard in Marble Falls is adding to the long list of reasons Austinites should head for the hills. Flat Creek Estate is entering a new season of growth, announcing new ownership, recent renovations, and a Michelin-pedigreed chef to boot.

Located within an hour of Austin, there's no wrong way to get to Marble Falls: The drive is beautiful no matter which direction you come from, and Flat Creek is nestled in a little pocket of the Colorado River as it winds through the Texas Hill Country.
